Thompson Center R-55 Bench
Description: Best rimfire I have ever owned. 1 hole group at 50 yds. Great trigger, 2-10shot mags and 1-20shot mag. Much better gun then 10/22 18" bull barrel. For those who are not familar with the gun below is some info The R-55 rimfire has been a retail home run for Thompson Center since its introduction at the turn of the current century. The Benchmark Classic is the Cadillac version of the R-55 platform with an 18-inch stainless steel bull barrel, with a wide-mouthed target crown, threaded to the steel receiver. The Benchmark Classic has the looks and features of a target gun, but the sling swivel studs and “all weather” marketing label are apparent gestures to the hunting market. The Benchmark Classic was the only one of the three test guns that didnt come with a scope rail, although two-piece mounts are available as an accessory (catalog No. 9951). They are identical to the Weaver No. 411. The light-brown laminated stock was similar in width and heft to the other test guns, but the Benchmark Classics high rollover comb was the most comfortable when all three rifles were scoped. The forend provided a wider (2.25 inches) flat surface for front rest contact than the other guns. This stock feature likely aided the guns ability to shoot. The TC Benchmark Classic kept Federal Gold Medal Match ammunition inside 0.35 inches at 25 yards and was slightly under a half-inch at 50 yards. The TCs trigger was also a delight and by far the lightest of the test group, averaging 3.6 pounds for 10 pulls on the digital Lyman Trigger Gauge. These facts alone would likely be enough for us to buy this gun over the others, but we liked other aspects of it as well. Construction was all steel in the receiver and action parts, with the fire control system held in place by two screws through the trigger guard and two more through the upper receiver walls. Bolts on the Thompson Center and Remington guns handily locked back (open) after the final shot in the magazine, while the Ruger design has never allowed that, forcing the shooter to pull back the bolt to determine if the chamber is clear SOLD Rifle Caliber: .22 Long Rifle Manufacturer: Thompson Center Model: R-55 Barrel Length: 18 |
